R1 coolant hoses and plumbing
Hi
Does anyone have a diagram of how they've plumbed the coolant hoses on their R1 (particularly 5JJ engine)
Also, where's the best place to get hoses from/what bits do I need?
I started pricing up silicone hoses and there's no way I'm paying that much at the moment!

I don't have a diagram but I've posted a description on the R1 plumbing thread.
Used silicon hoses though...and they do look pretty!

Cheers Adrian - think I've sorted the actual plumbing setup out now.
Just need to know where I can get some coolant hose that isn't going to cause me another mortgage to buy!

If you want to double check, this is how I plumbed mine in, I think its the same on a 5JJ

I am not sure how the price compares but I used the top radiator hose from a Proton with the Campro engine for my top and bottom hoses. It reduces
from the Polo radiator to Yamaha pipes (actually 2mm bigger on engine side but fits ok with clamp) and has a nice "s" shape that fit my
car perfectly. I agree that silicone hoses look great but this may save you a bit of cash for now.
You can see the top hose in this pic. I am not sure of your UK models.
